Cowboy Boots Are Summer’s It Shoe

Cowboy Boots Are Summer’s It Shoe

The unexpected shoe of the summer is stepping out.

Boots? For summer? Groundbreaking (!). Good news, Midwest princesses—cowgirl chic is riding high. If you thought western boots don’t exactly give warm-weather vibes, think again. Thanks to a multitude of celebs knockin’ around in cowgirl kicks (think Queen Bey, Lana Del Rey and Bella Hadid), the shoe of the summer isn’t a summer shoe at all. These boots were (literally) made for walking, bridging the gap between a sneaker and a summer heel with comfort and versatility—NTM they come in every color and style under the sun. So, leave the stagnant sandals in the back of your closet and pony up to the versatile shoes of the season. Cowgirl, take me away…

Four cowgirl chic selects to pair with summer’s “it” shoe:

Shield your eyes from the hot sun when romping through “wide open spaces”—all while looking more stylish than Jolene herself. Field Proper hat, $89, edgeofurge.com

Gingham is the new black. Blur the lines between Euro summer-core and cowgirl chic—and turn heads—in this versatile tie halter. Picnic halter top, $72, shophellbent.com

Jorts have made their triumphant return for the summer—but these aren’t your typical Daisy Dukes. Opt a longer pair of denims with boots for just a flash of leg in true cowgirl fashion. Down low undercover fray shorts, $228, uniquities.com
